President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan has sent his condolences to the Dangote family over the demise of Alhaji Sani Dangote, the Vice President of the Dangote Group.
In a statement issued by his media adviser, Ola Awoniyi, the Senate President said Sani Dangote’s death is a great loss to Nigeria and Africa.
This, according to him, is due to the passion of the Dangote Group for the development of the country and continent.

Lawan also condoled the Government and people of Kano State over the incident.
“Alhaji Sani Dangote was a great entrepreneur who brought his business acumen to impact positively on the Nigerian economy and Africa in general, particularly in the areas of manufacturing, agriculture and oil services.”
“I share the grief of the entire Dangote family on the sad incident and pray that they find comfort and strength in their faith in Almighty Allah.
“My heart goes out to the immediate family and all the relations of the deceased.
“I pray Allah to comfort and grant them all the fortitude to bear the loss and to accept the soul of the departed into Aljannah Firdaus,” Lawan prayed.
